New guy

[Hardway]

My name is Todd and I'm from South Texas. I recently purchased a 3.5 year old Sulcata and am trying to figure out the right way to raise him/her. I have a large backyard for it to roam and built it a table for indoors. So far so good....this guy eats out in my yard and spring mix like a horse. Was previously kept in a glass tank in sand, but was taken outside frequently. He/she has a small amount of pyramiding but not much....any how...making a short story long.

Welcome to the Tortoise forum!!

Welcome to the forum! He looks really good, especially for having been kept on sand!

As for posting pictures, I find Photobucket (or other, similar sites like tinypic) to be easiest. Upload the pictures there, then copy-and-paste the provided
